APPENDIX (i) Summary of all collections Please note: Collections sizes are generalised to indicate the breadth of the collections and are not an exact figure. Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums, Aberdeen (Aberdeen City Council) Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums is responsible for five museums and galleries. The small collection of Egyptian material was mainly donated by Aberdeen-born Joseph Bell and includes several good examples of Predynastic and Early Dynastic ceramics (c.4000–3000 BC). Of note are several decorated vessels dating to c.3500–3200 BC, particularly, a small vessel shaped to imitate a bird. The collection also includes artwork by David Roberts (1796–1864) and James McBey (1883–1959). Please note: No public display of the Egyptian material currently in April 2020. Collections size: <50 objects Arbuthnot Museum, Peterhead and The Discovery Centre, Mintlaw (Live Life Aberdeenshire Museums) Live Life Aberdeenshire Museums’ collection of ancient Egyptian material comprises around 30 small objects. This includes fragments of linen, faience beads, amulets and shabtis. Some of the ancient Egypt objects originate from the collection of Peterhead-born Adam Arbuthnot (1773-1850). He belonged to a wealthy and important family of landowners and merchants. When he retired from merchant business about 1820, he devoted his leisure to creating a collection of antiquities, coins and natural history. On his death in 1850, he bequeathed his collection to the Provost, Magistrates and Town Council of Peterhead. Please note: No public display of the Egyptian material currently in April 2020. Collections size: <50 objects University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen The University of Aberdeen has its origins in King’s College (founded 1495) and Marischal College (founded 1593). Each institution held a museum collection, combined into a single collection in the early 20th century. In 1811, politician and philanthropist Sir Charles Forbes (1774–1849) donated the mummified remains and coffins of a woman named Ta-Kheru to the University collection. This was one of the earliest known donations of Egyptian material in Scotland. The presentation of objects to the University by academic employees, former students and local aristocrats drove the development of the collection. Dr Robert Wilson (1787–1871) donated several hundred Egyptian objects and bequeathed money to the University to establish the anthropological museum. Another graduate, Dr James Grant Bey (1840–1896) and his descendants provided the largest number of objects donated by a single individual in Scotland. Having built up his collection in Cairo, he presented a large portion of his collection to the University, including over a thousand scarabs, which he personally labelled, mounted and catalogued. The collection also includes rare examples of a writing set, a limestone stela dedicated to the Syrian god Reshep, a high-quality example of a painted wooden box coffin from Beni Hassan and an inscribed Old Kingdom offering table. The University and its donors also supported excavations conducted by the EES, ERA, BSA, Oxford Excavations in Nubia, Deutsche Orient Gesellschaft and University of Liverpool, further adding to the collection. Please note: No public display of the Egyptian material currently in April 2020, however, some objects from the collections are currently (2019–20) on international tour as part of Egypt: The Time of Pharaohs, a joint venture between Lokschuppen Rosenheim, the 160 University of Aberdeen Museum, The Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim and MuseumsPartner Austria. Collections size: >4,000 objects Culture North Lanarkshire Culture North Lanarkshire is known to have one wooden shabti figure which has not been identified. Archival material at the University of Liverpool records that 42 ceramic vessels were gifted to Airdrie Museum by the archaeologist John Garstang (1876–1956) on behalf of the Beni Hasan Excavation Committee in April 1904. This donation was part of his offer of pottery to interested educational institutions as advertised in The Times in 1904. These ceramics may have subsequently been confused with other Cypriot material in the museum’s collection. Please note: No public display of the Egyptian material currently in April 2020. Collections size: <50 objects Dumfries Museum, Dumfries (Dumfries and Galloway Council) The Egyptian collection in Dumfries Museum comes from two main sources: Dr Thomas Boyle Grierson (1818–1889) and the family of Roderick Hannah. Dumfries-born Dr Thomas Boyle Grierson created a museum in Thornhill for the purpose of educating young people, farm hands and apprentices. Many of the objects were gifted to him as payment for medical treatment. Following his death in 1889, the museum was placed in a trust and the collections were ultimately dispersed in 1965. The Egyptian material was retained in Dumfries for teaching purposes. Some of Grierson’s collection was acquired from Dr James Grant Bey, the Cairo-based Aberdeenshire physician who formed the collections of the University of Aberdeen. Roderick Hannah ran a cotton farm in the Delta, his collection of ceramic and glass was collected from his fields and was supplemented by purchases. Please note: No public display of the Egyptian material currently in April 2020. Collections size: >140 objects East Ayrshire Leisure The collection cared for by East Ayrshire Leisure was initially formed in Kilmarnock as part of the Dick Institute, which was opened in 1901 following the provision of funding by Kilmarnock-born industrialist James Dick (1823–1902). The collection is built up primarily of material collected by visitors and tourists to Egypt, including amulets and metal figurines, faience shabtis and small Coptic objects. Most of the collection was initially lent by a Mrs H L Parker. East Ayrshire Leisure also cares for two artworks by David Young Cameron (1865– 1945), depicting Luxor temple and the fort at the Moqattam Hills, Cairo. Please note: No public display of the Egyptian material currently in April 2020. Collections size: <45 objects Museum of Childhood, Edinburgh (Museums & Galleries Edinburgh, Edinburgh City Council) The known Egyptian objects in the collection are currently on display in the Museum of Childhood, forming part of a display on dolls and figurines in different cultures. The most notable of these objects are the two Middle Kingdom wooden funerary figures; one depicting a seated male worker (likely a rower) and a nude female offering bearer. These objects were all collected by Edward Lovett (1852–1933), who built up a large collection of “dolls” from a range of cultures. Collections size: <5 objects 161 University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh The University of Edinburgh holds a number of collections across its academic departments and its Museums and Galleries service. The Anatomical Museum holds a collection of human remains built up in the mid-late 1800s. The University Library Special Collections cares for 18 papyrus documents from Oxyrhynchus and a small number of faience shabtis. The Vere Gordon Childe collection within the School of History, Classics and Archaeology contains over 100 objects, many of which were collected by Childe directly. As such, the Predynastic Period is well represented through lithics and some of the only known examples of Badari Culture ripple ceramics in the country. Please note: No public display of the Egyptian material currently in April 2020. Collections size: >160 objects ONFife Museums & Galleries, Fife Cultural Trust The collections of ONFife Museums & Galleries, Fife Cultural Trust are a combination of three previous museums. The group now cares for collections across twelve museums and heritage venues in Fife. The collection includes a number of small objects, with the largest object group represented being Ptolemaic coins. It also includes a New Kingdom shabti, said to be from the excavations of W M Flinders Petrie (1853–1942) at Gurob. Please note: No public display of the Egyptian material currently in April 2020. Collections size: 20 objects Falconer Museum, Forres (Moray Council) Founded in 1871 following a bequest from geologist Hugh Falconer, the museum sits on the High Street in Forres. Two notable highlights of the small collection both depict the cow goddess Hathor: a relatively rare example of painted pottery from the New Kingdom with figurative detail and a small stone stela depicting Hathor in the lower register. The stela is said to come from the area of Deir el-Bahari, an important area for the goddess. Please note: No public display of the Egyptian material currently in April 2020. Collections size: <30 objects Hawick Museum, Hawick (Live Borders) Formed by the Hawick Archaeological Society from 1856 and opened in the current location in 1910, Hawick Museum displays the history of the local area.
